Attachment 30798Attachment 30799 As you can see the cars and driver get a work out to make it around the track. its more skil than speed . I use a Carrera Go!! transformer to power and the Go controllers. I got over a year just working the bugs outs I put in the jumps hooking the wall port up that works the best These new fast lane champions I think run the best the stay on and dont deslot as See the hair pin on the far right is a bear. my hope is show you all.That you can make a cheap slot cars work just as well with just a little no how Attachment 30801Attachment 30800 save money and have fun OL MIKE

I bought a couple sets of those Fast Lane cars, and my son's GO! power pack won't run them. Even holding the wheels up they slowly accelerate. As soon as I put the car down, even at full speed, it bogs right down. All the Go and SCX cars run fine, though.

My first thought was that the Fast Lane (Artin?) cars take more amps than the Go! and SCX Cars, and that the Go! power supply does not supply enough to keep it going under load (caused by the magnets). I have a spare bench PSU that I was thinking about wiring up to my son's track so he can use these cars, but I'm not sure I'm ready to cut the wires just yet.

Thanks, Mike. I know how to wire a track. I like the way the carrera power track works to switch polarity, though. My main question is, what is your source of power? Is it a Carrera Go! power supply? I'm thinking not, since you showed that even a Go! power supply put directly to the car braids was not enough to get it going. If not, then what power pack did you use?

I can run artin/fast lane cars with a carrera PP. the trick is to bypass the turbo resistor and the thermal protection. but different controllers are needed because at 14.8V and with the amps the artins draw the go!!! controllers start to melt

I can run artin/fast lane cars with a carrera PP. the trick is to by pass the turbo resistor and the thermal protection. but different controllers are needed because at 14.8V and with the amps the artins draw the go!!! controllers start to melt <<<< by jhrico If your Carrera go!! controller are getting hot or melting. Then you need to put a jump in track. A jumps is a wire that cross the other side of track from the wall port to help with the draw of amp’s the car uses to get around the track When you a buy a police chase go set its size is 11.81 ft. the wall port that come with the set works good for the cars But let say you make that track 33 feet or 3 times bigger then you would need to put a jump about 15 feet to make up for the draw of amps that car use to get around the track this will help Attachment 30824 this track set on a 16 by 3foot table it work good my other track 14 by4 feet Attachment 30825 OL Mike
